Question 4

Part B
Paint the Walls
The height of the bedroom is 9 feet. You will paint two walls that are 15 feet wide, and you will paint two walls that are 12 feet wide. Your client likes two colors, Sky Blue and Morning Sunrise. Both colors are only available in 1-gallon cans.
· Sky Blue: The regular price of a 1-gallon can is $24, but it is on sale for 15% off the regular price. This paint requires 2 coats.
· Morning Sunrise: The price of a 1-gallon can is $30. This type of paint only requires 1 coat.
Each gallon of paint will cover an area of about 350 square feet.
Your client says they want the cheapest of the two colors that will fully cover
the four walls of his bedroom. Which paint color should you use? Explain.
Great job! Make sure you are ready to explain how to solve these tasks to your partner.
Afterwards, please work on IXL to get yourself ready for SBAC and MAP until we pause class for discussion.
